Reasons Why the Real Estate Ex-

largement.
Will Central park be enlarged? The
chamber of commerce started the move
in favor of increasing its present size,
and reported its action to the park conf
mission. That body favored the scheme
and took formal action to the effect that
the proposed addition be made at an eX-
pense of $4,000. Then the council sat
squarely down on the proposition, and
later the real estate exchange passed
resolutions against the proposed en-
largement. There the matter is.
One of the members of the real estate
that body, said that from the bare reso-
luton passed the public might not get
a correct idea of the position OF the real
estate men on the question. They had
no opposition to extending the park syS-
TEN of the city, he said; in fact they
would do as much as any class of citi-
ZenS in this direction, but the majority
of the exchange thought that Central
park was large enough. 1t could not
be made a large park even with the
proposed addition, and to eXpend the
amount of money necessary for so small
an addition they did not look upon as
the proper thing. They were of the
opinion that the same amount of money
could be used to good deal better ad-
vantage by going farther from the heart
of the city and securing large park
site. AS Central park could be made at
most but small breathing spot, the real
estate men believed it unwise to pay
such large sum for such small tract
of land.

The Fire Fiend-Wm. Halls Residence
Destroyed.

RANDALL, August 22.-On Fri
day night last the fine residence OF
William Hall, near Usage Mills was
entirely destroyed by fire. The
building was large frame, with
kitchen extention, one story high
The fire is supposed to have origin
ated from defective hue in the
kitchen. Mr.. Hall was awakened
by the cracking of the burning build
inr about 10 o'clock, and rushed up
stars to back room in which the
children were sleeping, just in time
to save them from the flames, as the
fire was breaking into their room at
the time, had he been five minutes
later his children would have perish
ed. The ringing of the bell and the
light of the burning building soon
attracted the neighbors to the scene.
BY great effort a small portion of the
household goods were saved. The
wash house that stood near soon
caught fire, but was saved by the
use of the force pump and hose.
Had it burnt his large barn would
have been destroyed also, the loss is
near $1,000 The house and goods
were insured for l,700, in the Pea
body Co. We understand Mr.. Hall
will rebuild Immediately.

BREwER-Enock Brewer, of Scott's
Run, Cass district, died on Friday
August 10Th 1887, aged SO years.
REED-Died Aug. 18th, 1887, j..
Bowen Reed, aged 81 years. The
deceased was son of John and Har-
riet Reed, and member of the Ger

were inferred in Mt. Union Cemetery
after appropriate services conducted
by Rev. johnson. The pail bearers
were: Charles Hare, Hough Hous-
ton, Marion Vandervort, VIM. Smell,
Charles Stewart and Frank Snider.
In reference to the departed these
words can be fifty spoken: He was
an obedient son, faithful friend, an
earnest laborer, and jealous Chris
tian. He performed the duties OF
life with that modesty which was his
prevailing characteristic. His en-
tire severe sickness was borne with
out murmur, he calmly resigned to
his fate, reas,rettsng only that his
dear friends should be left behind.

We would suggest that the latter
road is enough TO occupy their en-
tire attention.
While Mr.. Owen Hawker, sr.. who
resides near Laurel Point, was ap-
preaching the railroad crossing at
GAINESVILLE on his way home from
this place, few days ago, his horse
took fright and he was thrown from
his buggy, receiving several painful
cuts and bruises and narrowly es-
Gaping with his life. This crossing
is a dangerous one and fruitful
source of accidents. Some means of
lessening the danger ought to be
devised. In the meantime those
who drive over the road cannot ex-
ercise too much care at this point
and should only drive the safest and
gentlest horses.-Fairmoat IRder.

A Monongalia Curiosity.

A party of Pittsburgers who were
herer ecently went to the cave think
ing no doubt they had discovered a
great curiosity. In that they were
correct, but it has been familiar to
Morgantown folks for generations.
1t was formerly a favorite resort for
Morgantown beaux and love lorn
maidens and is frequently visited
yet. One of the party in writing of
it to the Pittsburg Dispatch says
Nine miles from Morgantown our
party drove out to see a cave that
has been pleasure resort for years
for the natives. The cave is formed
by the projection of a huge rock sew
eral hundred feet in length. The
entrance is $50 feet wide, 40 feet
high and the room, or including the
cavern, is 200 feet square. The floor
is a portion of the rock, and is al
mort as smooth and white as marble.
1t is favorite dance hall and in the

''How to Make the Honeymoon Last

This was the subject of a lecture
delivered before the Teachers Insti-
tute by Prof. A. L. Wade. He has
delivered the same lecture number
of times but never before in Morgan
town. Quite a large audience as
sembled to hear our distinguished
fellow townsman on the platform.
The lecture abounded in wit, humor,
argument and instruction. 1t was
unique. We never heard this sub
ject discussed on the platform be-
fore. Yet, why not? 1t is one that
merits serious study. A proper un-
Outstanding of it is necessary to the
happiness of humanity. To ignore
it is to doom ourselves to life long
unhappiness. The facts presented
and the doctrines set forth were
aptly illustrated by anecdotes and
incidents that had come under the
Professors observation. All were
pleased with it and all felt that the
hour was well spent in listening
to it.

The Black Bottle Not Busted.

Amid the many speculations, in
quiries and eagerness to learn the
condition of the Black Bottle, we are
glad to be able to give the readers of
the New DOMINION, exclusively,
some definite and reliable informa-
ton.
What we have to say is based up
on the most indisputable facts and
evidence now in our possession.
Those who are saying on the one
hand, that "the Black Bottle is all
right" and on the other hand that
"the Black Bottle is Busted" are
simply indulging in speculations
and idle rumors which are floating
about the street. We claim to have
the only reliable information of the
true inwardness of the Black Bottle
that can be obtained. In the Ian
guage of the craft, 1--WE got onto it,"
and we have "got it down fine"
Our readers will be surprised to
learn-what has not heretofore been
hinted-that Engineers Bartheld
and Foust, carried the the Black
Bottle away with them in their peck
cts. When they got as far as Fair
chance, it is presumed that they be-
gan to have some computations of
conscience, and they began to con-
slider how they could get rid of and
restore the property.
AS the result of their reflections the
New DOMINION has received through
the kindness of Howard Sturgiss,
properly packed and labeled, the
veritable old black bottle, about
which there has been so much, talk,
confusion and controversy for the
past ten days.
We are therefore prepared, as we
have said, to report its exact condi-
ton, having the "critter" now in
our exclusive possession. And we
are glad to inform our read
ers that the Black Bottle is not
busted, as commonly reported, but
is sound as dollar, without crack,
and with the ring of the genuine
metal about it.
But the cork is out!
1t hangs to the neck of the vessel
suspended by red string.
And the one discouraging feature
about it is, that 1t is empty. There
only remains strong flavor of its
fiaverous contents.
Only this, and nothing more
We therefore, Indignantly deny
that the Black Bottle is busted.
We reluctantly admit that it is
empty.
Those who have any curiosity car
come in and take-a smell.

WEST VIRGINIA RAILROAD.
Trouble Among Its Managers.-.The
Work at a Stand
But No One Doubts That ii Will be Re.
sumed at an Early Day.

The suspension of work on the
West Virginia Railroad. commonly
called the BLACK Bottle" has been
all the talk in and about Morgan
town for a week past. The real
cause of the suspension is merely a
matter of conjecture with the public,
but it is discuraging enough to know
that it is so. On the 18th inst,
Tenant d Johnson. the sub-con-
tractors, the men who have done the
work, failed to get their money, and
as that was pay day feeling of dis
trust was manifest all along the
line. On that evening Mr.. Pitcairn,
of Pittsburg, who is supposed to be
the capitalist of the concern, notified
the contractors that he was unable
to pay. This was followed the next
morning by the announcement that
the sub-contraetors had assigned.
When the men were informed of this
there was every evidence of an out
break among the Hungarians and
Italians, who were chiefly employed
on the work. Large numbers of
them congregated at various places
in town and made threats to de-
molish the place unless their
"monee" was forthcoming instanter.
A party Of 80 armed policemen. how
ever, were kept in readiness to meet
any such emergency. Things were
soon quoted with little or no trouble
Some of them were destitute and
were fed by contributions from citi-
zens.
On Monday small amount of
money was distributed among the
men running from Is to 20 per cent.
of what was due them. Many of
them accepted it and went away
thinking it was all they would ever
get; few refused to take the pit
lance offered them.
Yesterday evening fifty of them
went to Pittsburg where they have
been promised employment.
Notwithstanding the fuss and
trouble no one thinks the road will
be allowed to stand in it's present
condition very long. There has
been too much money spent to aban-
don it. That much seems to be GER
tain.
All sorts of rumors may be heard
on the streets concerning it, One
report says that Mr. Pitcairn is una
BILE to furnish the money as agreed,
while another claims that there is
no scarcity of money and that the
real difficulty is a division in the
board of directors, the Morgantown
men being unwilling to give Pitts
burg control of it. These of course
are mere rumors, the directors keep
ing their own council and the other
gentlemen being out of reach.
We are of the opinion as indicated
above that whatever the trouble now
is the road will be built and that
soon. There are too many interests
at stake to admit of it's abandon
ment, and whatever the result of the
present trouble the community will
eventually get the road
Among the business men who are
creditors of the contractors there is
much feeling and great disappoint-
ment, but so far as we have heard
they are not inclined to censure Ten
nant d johnson, these gentlemen
being entirely helpless in the mat
ter. The latter assure them that in
any event they have enough property
enough to make everyone whole.
We shall seeewhat we shall see.
